RESPECT – A Queer Affair

It is an art exhibition and schedule of community events aiming to promote positive messaging within and towards the LGBTIQ+ community—especially the youth—and bringing it and its supporters together in a time of disharmony and discord.

“75% of LGBTIQ+ young people (aged 15-25) experience some form of abuse or discrimination based on their identity.”

Profits generated by RESPECT—A Queer Affair will be donated to Minus18, Australia’s largest youth-led organisation promoting social inclusion for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex youth.

Over a two-week period in November, RESPECT—A Queer Affair will:

1. Provide a community space to celebrate all things LGBTIQ+ to coincide with the postal survey
on marriage equality.
2. Send out positive messages to the LGBTIQ+ and broader community encouraging respect
in all forms.
3. Raise money for Minus18, a youth-led not-for-profit organisation improving lives of LGBTIQ+
youth through self-empowerment and social inclusion.

Tuesday 14 November, 7.30–10.30pm: Queer Choir Off ($10/$5 entry fee).
A night of song, celebration, laughs and a coming together of queers and allies on the night before the result of the survey.
Hosted by Hares & Hyenas.
